Hi David, I subscribe to reduce the number of compilers and platforms. We just move our project on Windows from MSVC6 to MSVC8. Now we are using: - MS Visual Studio 2005 (MSVC8) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64) - Ubuntu Linux 7.04 with GCC 4.x and 3.x 32-bit and 64-bit. - Solaris SPARC with GCC 3.x - Intel Mac OS-X with gcc 4.x
Therefor we have no problem with cutting old OS and compilers. If I can help you with testing new versions on Solaris SPARC and Intel Mac OS-X, let me know. Best regards and thanks for your excellent work, Holger P.S.: Are there any XSLT 2.0 movements at the horizon?
